Obama's post-racial promise

Racial politics revived and implemented by B.H. Obama in his run for President has placed America at risk by causing the voters to vote color over compentence.

Barack Obama seduced whites with a vision of their racial innocence precisely to coerce them into acting out of a racial motivation.

Obama's post-racial idealism told whites the one thing they most wanted to hear: America had essentially contained the evil of racism to the point at which it was no longer a serious barrier to black advancement. Thus, whites became enchanted enough with Obama to become his political base. It was Iowa -- 95% white -- that made him a contender. Blacks came his way only after he won enough white voters to be a plausible candidate.
